Compliance obligations in Kenya have expanded considerably, and many businesses are subject to requirements nobody has ever told them about. We advise on what actually applies to a given organisation, put the required policies and registrations in place, and build governance structures that hold up to a regulator's inspection.
Many businesses are subject to obligations nobody has told them about, particularly around data protection and beneficial ownership, and the exposure is only discovered when a regulator asks. We start by establishing what actually applies to your organisation, then build the policies, registrations and board structures to meet it.
Data protection, anti-money laundering, beneficial ownership and board governance frameworks.
What We Do
Our work in compliance and governance typically covers:
- Data Protection Act registration and compliance programmes — Registering with the ODPC and building a compliance programme around it.
- Data processing agreements and privacy notices — Documenting how personal data is collected, used and shared.
- Anti-money laundering and CFT frameworks — Building AML/CFT policies proportionate to your business's risk profile.
- Beneficial ownership register filings — Identifying and filing beneficial ownership information correctly.
- Board charters and governance frameworks — Structuring how your board actually operates and makes decisions.
- Regulatory compliance audits and gap analysis — Reviewing your current compliance position against what applies to you.
- Whistleblowing and conflicts policies — Building the internal policies a well-governed board is expected to have.
- Director duties and liability advice — Advising directors on their duties and how to discharge them properly.
